That would be +5. And down 3 points from their last poll. The crappy Michigan-centric pollsters may show Snyder winning easily, but PPP shows a tie. Judging from 2012, I know who I believe.

45.2 - 39.5=5.7, which rounds up to 6.

The most common practice is rounding the topline numbers, then giving the spread. At least that's how all poll aggregation sites do it.

Considering Snyder won by 18 points in 2010 yet is now in a real race (and Peters looks set to win by high single digits/low double digits), if there does end up being a wave, it probably won't be washing up on the shore of Michigan.
